Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

WoW doesn't need housing, it needs more character customization.



With the introduction of Adventure Plates in XIV (think business cards but for your character), I'm reminded of how lifeless characters are in WoW. My character is the vessel I use to do everything in the game, but it doesn't really feel like mine, the only distinguishing trait I can have is transmog.


WoW is a combat-centered game, I get that, but if we're pushing for them to spend time dedicating resources to non-combat content, especially vanity content, I'd rather them flesh out character customization a lot more. Blizzard has done a lot of great work on that front recently, but they are still below par. Every race needs 4x the amount of options and then other features too such as body-type options and different voices to choose from. A big undertaking no doubt, but I personally want them to take this route if they choose to make a big investment in non-combat content again like they did with Garrisons or Pet Battles.

which i find funny as playin ff14 recently i found wow has almost more customization, glamour is far more annoying and limited then transmog, there is NO class customization, if you are X class you play Y way and that is it. there is no trinkets or proc gear so you cant even customioze that way

for example my ff14 charecter had 3 face options, and that chose both the face structure and the HORNS.
wow meanwhile has WAAAY more then that, and seperates face from horns as an option.

I don't think any of these are correct though.

- Garrosh was never born in Alternate Draenor. The alternate Grommash had a child but with another woman and it's another character entirely. Here : https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Exarch_Hellscream
- Our Garrosh is dead, has been sent to Revendreth to be milked then ended up in SoD where he literally got obliterated. He's simply gone now. It was a small plot point and nod to players like many other characters they brought back during SL, nothing foreshadowing of the future.
- There is no relationship between Garrosh and Zaela but mutual respect. The rest is only fanfic. Cfr. the "Trivia" section of this page : https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/War...aela?so=search

- If the son of AU Grommash appears at some point, he will look like Garrosh. I doubt that they will not take the chance to bring "Garrosh" again in that way.

- I understand your PoV, and it is definitively a possibility, but the ashes that we see at the end of Garrosh cinematic could easily be from the armor or weapons that the boss had. Again, I really think that they have left the door open to bring MU Garrosh back.

- Finally, that relation of self respect with Zaela could easily have been something else. I do not think that if suddenly a son from Garrosh and Zaela appears anyone would object against It.

Garrosh's Escape confirmed.

Escape from what? Being a pile of soulash?

[wombinator04]

It's AU AU Garrosh. An Alternate Alternate Universe Garrosh.

[Rae888]

At this point I don’t believe anything except the direct leak of the name from the website. At least tomorrow will be exciting like this.

Just pull a Star Wars: The Last Skywaker

Khadgar looks at the camera, “Somehow, Garrosh has returned.”

Elune is a dragon confirmed!

What if Elune is a life mother dragon and the expansion is dragon isles emerald dream and elunaria. Dragon based life expansion. No void or infinite flight. No galakrond or chromatus. White evil Elune.

[Cheezits]

I still think it could be Garrosh and Zaela's son who has grown up through magic or a timeskip.

More likely is that it's a Vrykul though, especially with the toga. What self respecting Cinematic Orc would wear anything covering the chest???

[scrappybristol]

This is a flashback.

The Orc is Zuluhed the Whacked.

This 100%

Look at Alexstrazsa disposition:



It's clearly a submissive one.

Probably a good portion of the cinematic is Alexstrasza narrating her life from the fight with Galakrond to being dominated by Zuluhed to the fight with Deathwing to current day.

[Cheezits]

So... maybe a tease/troll, but this week's Mog Monday on twitter is in Halls of Valor.

Plot twist.

Deleting yourself from the Shadowlands brings you back to the world of the living.

They are reusing the original idea of WoD. Garrosh comes back from the Shadowlands with the Warchiefs of the other Clans that died in the First and Second War.

WoW: Warlords of Draenor of Shadowlands of Death.

[Chickat]

I mean, that's just a fair guess given that Cata was a sort of WoW 2 and Legion set the new design and gameplay precedent for BFA and SL (1.0, 4.0, 7.0, 10.0), but that doesn't mean Blizzard is going to suddenly send us to Draenor's moon where we fight cat robots using just scissors.

That's sounds cool though. Can it be that?

[AngerFork]

Arcane Mages have Acrane Familiars, which act as pets for their duration. Arcane Mages also have an ability similar to Reverse Wounds in the Temporal Shield ability.

What do you mean weapon charging?

They have familiars, but those familiars aren't acting as healing pets right now. To actually make a healing spec for mages using the arcane familiar, you'd probably need to set it up as a whole different healing spec. Adding in more stuff like Temporal Shield would help some, but even then if you've got another couple of specs that could use Arcane, why load it all up on Mages when you can better tune that to be a new class? That's more what I'm saying here...there are a few different ways that playing Arcane could be fun, we don't have to shoehorn 6 specs onto a Mage when we have other class fantasies we could work into a potential Evoker class.

As for the weapon charging, it could be something for instance in a tank spec where whomever has Arcane energy uses that energy in say a shield or sword, giving it more strength and/or extra damage for anyone hit by it. It would be good for a Melee Arcane spec and could easily be displayed with a different shader/enchant effect shown on a weapon.

You mixed The Last Jedi with Rise of Skywalker. But yeah that could work.

Saw this on 4chan

This would be a good way to have a cinematic featuring Dragons Doing Cool Shit without it having to necessarily be a big Cataclysm style event.

Nah that is the son of Garrosh and AU female Garrosh.

I do like Jaina, but i doubt that she will get any screen time this exp.

[Shadochi]

It was mentioned here

Yeah, but that CoT dungeon is probably referencing the escape between MoP and WoD.

Tbh they should start adding CoT dungeons in any patch with reused assets to bring more out of game story into the game. Doesn't have to be part of M+
